Anonymous Letter Allegations Against Paphos Mayor Under Police Investigation

The police are investigating allegations of offenses against the Mayor of Paphos, Phaedon Ioannou. The investigation began following the leak of medical documents and an anonymous letter sent to various recipients, including the Presidential Palace and party leaders, referring to other offenses of a "different nature". Legal expert Simos Angelidis emphasized the need to verify the authenticity of the documents and the state's responsibility to assess the risk of the allegations. Despite the mayor's claims of political defamation, Mr. Angelidis stressed that the investigation must continue to determine the truth. The success of the investigation, according to Mr. Angelidis, depends on providing safety and support to victims so that they dare to testify. Finally, the importance of an independent judiciary was highlighted.
